John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein)

It went out for tender again and it was awarded to Go-Ahead for another five years. This is quite concerning in my view because the systematic failures over the course of the previous seven years have not been addressed. We are only a couple of weeks into the new contract and the failures are probably worse than they were under the previous contract. That, in my view, sets off alarm bells that there are failures at so many levels. Therefore, I would be interested in getting some more detail from the Department in relation to that.

That concludes my questioning. I thank the witnesses for coming in.
